Pieter, I like what you've done with the front page of this forum. Adding the "last edited" date will make it much easier to see when new comments have been made to a thread. Also, displaying the number of threads in a section should encourage people to look further into the section.

At the top of the thread page, the new navigation took me a while to figure out (well, I think I've figured it out!). Perhaps it would help by adding some extra notation like this:

|< jump to first thread of section and << to go to previous thread - or<< jump to first thread of section and < to go to previous thread - and the same in reverse for the RHS.

Next, how do we get more people to watch the site? This is a lonely place, when you have a question that needs answering!

I'm making a new version of the scrollbar now. It'll be elegant and simple thanks to your inputs.

For getting people to this site… I think it's natural process starting with those involved in Iron Giant, spreading out. It'll be better to grow this forum slowly, encouraging individuals who we need involved to come and join.
